GWAR Have a New EP and Comic Book Coming Out, Releases New Single “Lot Lizard”
Attention, lowly bohabs! Our lords and masters GWAR have returned to celebrate their 40th anniversary on this godforsaken rock. As such, they’ve announced a multi-media event that should get fans excited as fuck — The Return of Gor-Gor.
Not only are they bringing back their crack-addled three-ton Tyrannosaurus Rex named Gor-Gor for a new EP and 32-page comic book. Both will be released on July 25 via Pit Records and Z2 Comics. According to the band, the dual offering tells the story of how Gor-Gor returns to destroy shit and cause havoc on the planet after mysteriously vanishing following Oderus Urungus’ death.
Vocalist Blothar had this to say about Gor-Gor’s return:
“The last time I saw Gor Gor he was just a wee fart dragon. He had crawled on the hood of my Kia Soul and was holding on for dear life while I drove to the store to buy Clamato. I bathed him in wiper fluid and used my wipers to knock him off my sweet ride. Next thing I know, he’s a 20-foot tall trans-species prostitute working a pickle park. Apparently, he’s all grown up and looking for revenge. This record chronicles his struggles as a young Dino-American trying to make his way in a cruel world.”
As for the single, it’s a NSFW song about a special kind of being that hangs out at truck stops and the like… Blothar had this to say about the song and its very inappropriate for work:
“‘Lot Lizard’ is a blistering return to GWAR dddas a punk metal powerhouse with a sense of humor. What could be more charming than a song about a crack-addicted cross-dressing dinosaur prostitute that shreds weiners at truck stop pickle parks? Nuttin honey. That’s what. The song rocks. Listen ya mooks…”
